The Block system

So this is mostly for the past JETs floating around out there, when you guys listed your preferences did they use the block system in years past? I like it as I can just kind of select a region instead of an exact location.

Re: The Block system

Well, I'm not a past JET, but I can say that if you're looking at A block for cold weather I would rule out Yamagata and Akita right away. They have super cold winters that can go -12 and they get ridiculous amounts of snow, but the summer is equally brutal. And long. And humid. As for the other prefectures, I'm not overly familiar with them.

Re: The Block system

It depends on the country you're applying from. When I did it, we didn't list blocks, we listed prefectures/designated cities.
